English-born Hollywood legend dies

Patricia Paz Maria Medina was born on July 19, 1919 in Liverpool. She began acting as a teenager in England, and after WW II she began her film career in L.A., where she was initially signed to MGM.

Her smouldering latin looks made her popular in pirate movies in the 'fifties, and later she continued to appear in television series like The Man from U.N.C.L.E, Perry Mason and Bonanza. She was the widow of Joseph Cotton, actor of Citizen Kane fame, who died in 1994.
